did a critter make a nest in your airbox? I have had that happen on a number of bikes...

Nope. I am so tempted to buy on impulse now. AT or GS....whatever coz any of them will quench my disappointment right now.Best of luck with getting it fixed. There are lots of things that could be causing this and some of them are very simple. Have you tried a WC GS yet ?

It is a matter of taste. GS is a huge beast most people will not like the weight of.Ok. Just careful with the impulse. I tried the WC GS. I own a Triumph Explorer 1200 as my two up touring bike, but it does much more for me than that. Anyway I took out the GS out of curiosity to see what a so called really good suspension is like. My Wife accompanied me. We planned to be off for the day on it. After about an hour my Wife asked me to bring her home and continue the day alone on the GS. She disliked it that much as a pillion. Personally I was not enjoying it much either. The motor for me was not as user friendly as the Triple and not as tractable. The gearbox felt loose and imprecise. The suspension and handling were ok. As I was not enjoying the experience I decided to return it to the shop and retrieve my Triumph. We continued the day on that and there were no more complaints. We still have it and for us as a couple it is irreplaceable.
The AT on the other hand is my solo motorcycle to replace the NC. I now have about 3300kms on it and I am thoroughly enjoying its enthusiastic motor and its plush suspension. It lives alongside the Triumph, and both have their strengths.
Hopefully your NC will be sorted soon and that will allow You to make a more measured decision.
Stop projecting your views on others. People no longer need to understand the internals of their bikes. 99.9% of people will never break down at night a long way from home.Just for future reference ALL motorcyclists should have a mechanical knowledge of how their machine works. When we brake down at night a long way from help we cannot crawl in the backseat for a nap. Mechanica systems are logical. Fuel/ electical/ mechanical. I doubt you engine is broken. If you piston was seized it wouldn't turn over, if your bottom end was gone it would sound like a metal squirrel trying to get out. If you timing had slipped you'd get popping, backforing. As mentioned chick the plugs, get down and look at the injector, look for loose/ disconnected wires. What does your oil look like? have you got coolent showing in the res.?
What does your wife think of the AT, as a passenger? I haven't heard anyone saying anything about that.Ok. Just careful with the impulse. I tried the WC GS.

Then you are simply on a moving machine you turn over to people from time to time and willingly lay out $$$ for doing things you have no idea what they are?? What are yu a 50 year old housewife. I suppose the same goes for your AC at home, your roof you call some butt crack in to chage a was he in your taps and what about light bulbs, most screw in but which way. I will say what I want, advise if I know, rie what I like. You can stay at the consumer end writing you checks while those who do understand shake their heads at your naive and limited comprehension of how things function.
